Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a zone-wise metallization on a carrier substrate, wherein the carrier substrate is at least partially provided with a soluble, colored first layer, which is provided over its entire surface with a metal layer on its side facing away from the carrier substrate.
- the invention further relates to a transfer film which comprises a carrier substrate and a transfer layer with a zone-wise metallization, wherein the carrier substrate is formed as a carrier film and the transfer layer has at least one partially arranged colored first layer and a metal layer arranged congruently to the first layer, as well as the latter Use.
- Such a method and such a transfer film are known from WO 98/50241.
- a carrier film is coated with a soluble, optionally colored first lacquer layer and the side of the first lacquer layer facing away from the carrier film is covered with a reflective metal layer.
- portions of the metal layer are to be removed by either coating a base in a desired pattern on the metal layer, or coating a base-insoluble layer in a pattern on the metal layer, and then coating a base onto the insoluble layer and the exposed areas of the metal layer Metal layer is applied.
- the base should now dissolve through the metal layer through the soluble first coat of paint.
- a method is described here in which a soluble paint is partially printed with a curing agent, the curing agent and free areas of the paint are coated with a metal layer and then the paint in the areas where no curing agent was present including the arranged thereon Dissolve metal layer to produce a partial metallization of the carrier substrate registering to the cured areas of the paint.
- these two methods last described in the case of a large number of paints cause the solubility of the lacquer layer after metallization to be markedly worsened, so that a defined detachment of the lacquer layer areas provided directly with the metal layer is made difficult or even impossible ,
- a soluble first colorant or lacquer layer is applied over the entire surface of a carrier substrate and partially covered with a second color or lacquer layer which contains a hardener for the first layer.
- the areas of the first layer in which the second layer was absent are dissolved by a solvent, so that areas with two register-accurate color layers are formed.
- DE 34 30 111 C1 discloses a foil with a decorative metal layer and a method for its production.
- a soluble coating on a carrier film is partially printed with a curing agent or a Aushärtlack containing a curing agent in excess.
- the hardener diffuses into the underlying, soluble paint and hardens it.
- a concentration gradient of the hardener is formed in the soluble paint, wherein in the direction of the carrier film, the hardener concentration decreases, thereby causing a locally different degrees of hardening of the soluble layer.
- uncured areas of the soluble lacquer may be present in the region of the carrier film which, during the washing of the Areas that have not been printed with curing agent, also be partially or completely replaced with.
- the curing of the soluble paint in the region of the support film is sufficient so far that solubility is no longer present, the non-uniform hardening of the soluble paint due to the concentration gradient has an unfavorable effect on its mechanical properties.
- a residue of the pure curing agent or the Aushärtlack
- the carrier substrate is at least partially provided with a soluble, colored first layer, which is provided on its side facing away from the carrier substrate over the entire surface with a metal layer, that either a) between the first layer and the At least one soluble second layer is arranged on the metal layer, or b) at least one insoluble third layer is arranged on the side of the first layer facing the metal layer, and a soluble second layer at least partially on the side of the third layer facing the metal layer is partially applied to the third layer-free areas of the first layer, wherein in cases a) and b) a hardener is added to the first layer and to the second layer is added an additive which is capable of inactivating the hardener of the first layer, the optionally arranged at least one third layer for which the additive is impermeable, second layer inactivates the curing agent of the first layer in the regions of the first layer that are disposed in direct contact with the second layer before the first layer is cured by the curing agent, and that - the second layer
- the regions of the first layer which are to be dissolved again are not coated directly with the metal layer at any point, so that there is no change in the solubility of the first layer due to the coating with the metal layer.
- the regions of the first layer which are to be redissolved are, according to the invention, brought into direct contact with the second layer, which has an additive which is adapted to a hardener contained in the first layer.
- the additive in the second layer inactivates the hardener in the first layer before the hardener becomes active and hardens the first layer.
- the second layer and exposed portions of the first layer are coated with a metal layer, which is preferably formed in a PVD process such as vapor deposition or sputtering.
- the second layer and the regions of the first layer, in which the hardener was inactivated dissolved by means of the liquid and removed. It also becomes the part of the metal layer removed, which is arranged directly on the second layer, and thus a partial metallization is formed on the carrier substrate.
- the partial metallization is located where the first layer was directly coated and cured with the metal layer.
- the at least one third layer present in case b) is insoluble and allows additional decorative effects. In this case, the optical impressions of the first and the third layer can overlap and also the third layer can be provided at least in regions with the metal layer.
- the method according to the invention enables a reliable detachment of the uncured regions of the first layer and the regions of the metal layer arranged thereon, it being possible to reproducibly produce metal layer regions having defined dimensions and sharp edges.
- the first lacquer layer is divided into hardened and uncured regions, and on the other hand, the regions of the first lacquer layer to be hardened are additionally directly coated with the metal layer, which leads to the above-described reduction of the solubility of the first lacquer layer.
- This double influence on the first lacquer layer can be seen as the cause for the high edge sharpness of the formed metallization areas and for the extremely high registration accuracy of the hardened areas of the first lacquer layer and the areas of the metal layer arranged thereon.
- the hardened regions of the first layer remaining under the regions of the metal layer have a uniform degree of cure over their surface and, viewed in cross-section, over their layer thickness because of their production history the hardener is evenly distributed in the material for forming the first layer already in the formation of the first layer.
- the uniform hardening of the first layer can be determined, for example, by the fact that the abrasion, the solubility, the refractive index, the molecular weight or a Molecular weight of the first layer - seen in cross-section - determined for different layer depths and compared.
- the degree of hardening of the first layer for example via the vapor pressure of polymers in the first layer or by determining the deformability of the first layer - also seen in cross section - for different layer depths and to compare them.
- no different measured values can be ascertained in the resulting, hardened first layer.
- the ink is formed alkaline by means of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, wherein the sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide forms the additive. It has been found that these additives from the second layer reliably inactivate an aziridine-based or polyimine-based hardener in the first layer and thus prevent the hardening of the first layer in a reproducible area. Such hardeners cure the first layer only at temperatures above about 8O 0 C accelerated. At room temperature, the curing is very slow, so that inactivation of the curing agent by the additive in the ink can be done, especially if this is applied "inline" in a subsequent printing on the first layer.
- the printing ink for forming the second layer is preferably added with a coloring filler or pigment to the arrangement and training the formed second layer in a simple manner to undergo a visual inspection. It has proven useful to add barium sulfate, titanium oxide or zinc sulfide to the ink in order to make them visible.
- the object is achieved for the transfer film, in particular a hot stamping foil, by hardening the first layer by means of an aziridine-based or polyimine-based hardener, the first layer having cured uniformly over its layer thickness.
- the first layer is preferably formed by an alkali-soluble lacquer, preferably based on polyacrylic acid or styrene-maleic anhydride.
- a layer thickness in the range of 0.7 to 2 ⁇ m is preferably selected.
- the additive of the second layer can reliably inactivate the hardener in the first layer over the entire layer thickness of the first layer. It has proven useful to form the second layer with a thickness in the range of 0.8 to 3 microns. It has proved useful if the first layer is transparent in order to make visible and fully emphasize the metal mirror through the first layer.
- the first layer may consist of several transparent layers whose optical effect influences each other.
- the carrier film and / or the transfer layer of the transfer film are at least partially transparent.
- partially transparent transfer layers which are applied to a document of value, still allow the surface of the document of value to be recognized and to achieve additional protection against counterfeiting.
- the transfer layer has an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer is arranged on the side of the transfer layer facing away from the carrier film.
- the adhesive layer is arranged on the side of the transfer layer facing away from the carrier film.
- the at least one third layer which may be provided in the transfer layer, it is possible to achieve special decorative effects if this is made opaque in color and / or colored transparent.
- a wax-like separating layer is arranged between the carrier film and the transfer layer.
- Such separating layers usually have a thickness in the range of 0.001 to 0.1 ⁇ m.
- the carrier film preferably made of plastics such as PI, PP, PE, PET, PPS, LCP, PEN, PA, PVC, paper, fabrics or metal foil, thereby dissolves easily under pressure and temperature during hot stamping of the transfer layer and allows accurate and complete application to a material to be embossed.
- a flexible film material having a thickness in the range from 5 to 700 .mu.m, preferably in the range from 12 to 50 .mu.m, as the carrier substrate, so that this can be provided on a supply roll and processed endlessly. It is particularly advantageous in this case if the carrier substrate is transported from roll to roll to form the zone-wise metallization. This means that the carrier substrate withdrawn from a first supply roll, the process of the invention, optionally also subjected to further process steps, and finally can be wound onto a second supply roll, which is further processed. Further process steps include, for example, embossing processes, temperature treatments or irradiation.
- the metal layer is designed to be reflective, preferably reflective and reflective. This further enhances the decorative effect of the area-wise metallization.
- the metal layer is formed from one of the metals aluminum, chromium, copper, nickel, iron, titanium, silver, gold or an alloy of two or more of these metals. These metals can produce a specularly reflective metal layer.
- the metal layer is preferably formed by vapor deposition or cathode sputtering, since these methods can be carried out in a continuous and thus particularly economical process. It is preferable to form the metal layer (s) in a thickness in the range of 10 to 100 nm.
- transfer film according to the invention for the formation of security elements on data carriers, in particular value documents such as ID cards or banknotes, of components or decorative elements, in particular in architecture or other technical fields, of packaging materials, in particular in the pharmaceutical or food industry or of components in the Electrical or electronics industry is ideal.
- FIGS. 1a to 3 are intended to illustrate the method according to the invention and the structure of a transfer film according to the invention by way of example. So shows:
- FIG. 1 a shows a carrier substrate with a first layer, a second layer and a metal layer in cross section
- FIG. 1 b shows the carrier substrate from FIG. 1 a after dissolving the second layer and non-hardened regions of the first layer
- FIG. 2 a shows a further carrier substrate with a first layer, a second layer, a third layer and a metal layer in cross section,
- FIG. 2b shows the carrier substrate from FIG. 2a after dissolving the second layer and non-hardened regions of the first layer
- FIG 3 shows the cross section through a trained as a hot stamping foil transfer film with areawise metallization.
- FIG. 1a shows, in cross-section, a carrier substrate 1 designed as a carrier foil, which is coated with an alkali-soluble, colored lacquer based on styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) as the first layer 2.
- SMA styrene-maleic anhydride
- the lacquer for the formation of the first layer had the following composition: ethanol 3200 g ethyl acetate 3100 g n-butanol 100 g SMA resin (MW approx. 200,000, acid number approx. 250) 1000 g alcohol-soluble cellulose nitrate (standard 30 A) 100 g complex dye orange 85 g complex dye yellow 38 g aziridine Hardener 25g
- the carrier substrate 1 made of PET has a thickness of 25 .mu.m and the first layer 2 has a thickness of 1 .mu.m.
- the first layer 2 can be applied over the entire surface or only partially on the carrier substrate 1.
- the first layer 2 in the present case contains an aziridine-based hardener. Between the carrier substrate 1 and the first layer 2 further lacquer layers, reflective layers or other layers can be arranged, which may have, for example, magnetic properties.
- On the first layer 2 is partially applied a water-soluble, strongly alkaline printing ink as the second layer 3, which contains sodium hydroxide as an additive and has a thickness of 1, 5 microns.
- the ink was added to titanium oxide to give a highly visible and controllable print result.
- the printing ink for forming the second layer had the following composition:
- a specularly reflective metal layer 4 of aluminum having a thickness of 40 nm covers the second layer 3 and the uncovered areas of the first layer 2.
- the sodium hydroxide of the second layer 3 inactivates the hardener in the first layer 2 in the areas in which a direct contact between the first layer 2 and the second layer 3 was generated.
- FIG. 1b shows the carrier substrate 1 from FIG. 1a after dissolving the second layer 3 and non-hardened regions of the first layer 2 in water. Only in the areas of the first layer 2, which were not covered by the second layer 3, the curing agent became active and led to a hardening of the first layer 2. These areas thus remain on the carrier substrate 1 including the directly pattygenauauen areas of the metal layer 4, while the uncured portions of the first layer 2 and the portions of the metal layer 4 disposed on the second layer 3 have been removed.
- FIG. 2 a shows a further carrier substrate 1 with a water-soluble first layer 2 based on styrene which has been applied over its entire surface and is applied over its entire area.
- Maleic anhydride according to FIG. 1a which contains an aziridine-based hardener.
- the first layer 2 is colored and transparent.
- a water-insoluble, color-transparent third layer 7 is partially applied.
- the water-insoluble lacquer for the formation of the third layer had the following composition: methyl ethyl ketone 2600 g PMMA (high molecular weight, Tg 120 0 C) 500 g toluene 2000 g ester-soluble cellulose nitrate (standard 34 E) 1000 g cyclohexanone 300 g complex dye Red 45 g Partially on the third layer 7 and partially arranged on the uncovered from the third layer 7 areas of the first layer 2, a water-soluble, second layer 3, which formed from a strongly alkaline ink according to Figure 1a.
- the second layer 3 contains as additive sodium hydroxide which inactivates the hardener in the first layer 2 in the areas which are in direct contact therewith.
- the second layer 3 does not affect the third layer 7, so that the third layer 7 for the sodium hydroxide of the second layer 3 forms a barrier layer.
- a closed metal layer 4 of chromium covers the second layer 3, parts of the first layer 2 and parts of the third layer 7.
- FIG. 2b shows the carrier substrate 1 from FIG. 2a after dissolving the second layer 3 and non-hardened regions of the first layer 2 in water.
- regions of the first layer 2 remain in register with regions of the metal layer 4, un-coated regions of the third layer 7 and regions of the third layer 7 covered with regions of the metal layer 4 Variation of the arrangement of the individual layers can be achieved here very different effects.
- FIG. 3 shows the cross section through a hot stamping foil 10 with zone-wise metallization.
- a wax-like separating layer 5 which facilitates the detachment of a transfer layer 9 from the carrier substrate 1 to a material to be embossed, is arranged on a carrier substrate 1 designed as a carrier film.
- On the release layer 5 is a colorless transparent, insoluble resist layer 8 is arranged on the regions of the first layer 2 and the metal layer 4 as shown in Figure 1 b formed, are arranged.
- An adhesive layer 6 is located on the side facing away from the carrier substrate 1 side of the transfer layer 9. As an adhesive, a heat-sealable adhesive is preferably used.
- the hot stamping film 10 When hot stamping the hot stamping film 10 is pressed under the action of temperature with the adhesive layer 6 against the material to be embossed and the transfer layer 9 completely or partially, for example in the form of patterns, alphanumeric characters or images transferred.
- the carrier substrate 1 is separated from the transferred to the embossed material areas of the transfer layer 9.
- the colorless transparent lacquer layer 8 now forms the surface of the transferred regions of the transfer layer 9 and protects the layer layers arranged underneath, for example against damage or manipulative change.
- the layer systems shown in the figures can be supplemented by further transparent or opaque layers, whereby various effects can be produced.
- the first layer 2 can be formed from two or more colored, transparent soluble lacquer layers. Also it is possible to use opaque color layers for structuring or a metal layer which is formed in regions from metals of different colors. This results in countless possible variations, which are recognizable to the person skilled in the art from the spirit of the invention.
